Reagan National has sufficient runway capacity to National and the three major New York accommodate the new beyond-perimeter flights and, with some improvements to City area airports—must obtain baggage handling and security screening facilities, will have sufficient terminal operating authorizations called slots capacity.

Date Raised: May 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Northwest Airlines Description: AccessAir, a new airline headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, began service in the New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles to Mo- line/Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois, markets. Northwest offers connecting service in these markets. AccessAir alleged that Northwest was offering fares in these markets that were substantially below Northwest’s costs. 171 9310-08 App C 10/12/99 13:40 Page 172 172 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY 2. Date Raised: March 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Delta, Northwest, and TWA Description: AccessAir was a new entrant air carrier, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. In February 1999, AccessAir began service to New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles from Des Moines, Iowa, and Moline/ Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois. AccessAir offered direct service (nonstop or single-plane) between these points, while competitors generally offered connecting service. In the Des Moines/Moline–Los Angeles market, Ac- cessAir offered an introductory roundtrip fare of $198 during the first month of operation and then planned to raise the fare to $298 after March 5, 1999. AccessAir pointed out that its lowest fare of $298 was substantially below the major airlines’ normal 14- to 21-day advance pur- chase fares of $380 to $480 per roundtrip and was less than half of the major airlines’ normal 7-day advance purchase fare of $680.

  • How to Get to the Wild West Coast... Tofino B.C
    HOW TO GET TO THE WILD WEST COAST... TOFINO B.C. Tofino is found on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Stand on the beach in Tofino and the next land you would reach, going west, would be Japan. The drive between Victoria and Tofino was recently ranked as one of the top three drives in Canada in the 2004 edition of the Michelin North American Road Atlas. Found at the very end of the Trans-Canada Highway, Tofino and Long Beach Lodge Resort are located 321 kilometres from Victoria, 208 kilometres from Nanaimo, (Vancouver Island’s second largest city), and 130 kilometres west of Port Alberni and 42 kilometres north of Ucluelet on Highway 4 (also called the Pacific Rim Highway). Vancouver Island and Tofino are easily accessible by sea, air and land. Driving times are approximate, especially if you stop to view the stunning scenery along the way: Victoria to Tofino = 4.5 hrs Nanaimo to Tofino = 2.5 hrs Port Alberni to Tofino = 1.5 hrs BY SEA BC Ferries Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service from Mainland BC to Vancouver Island Vancouver (Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) or Nanaimo (Departure Bay and Duke Point) In person at their new Vacations Centre located at 1010 Canada Place, Vancouver BC or call 1-888-223-3779 Tel: (250) 386-3431 www.bcferries.bc.ca Victoria Clipper Year-round, daily passenger ferry service between Seattle and Victoria Tel: (206) 448-5000 www.victoriaclipper.com Black Ball Transport Year-round, daily vehicle and passenger ferry service between Victoria and Port Angeles, WA on

La base de trabajo ha sido el análisis de la prensa especializada, a partir de la cual se han identificado los casos innovadores. Gracias al análisis de su origen (tecnológico, geo- político, aero-político, corporativo, de producto y en la infraestructura) y a su contextualización, hemos podido trazar la historia de la aviación comercial desde su origen en 1919 hasta nuestros días. Palabras clave: Historia contemporánea, Aviación comercial, Política aérea, Relaciones internacionales, Turismo, Innovación, Aerolíneas, Aeropuertos Abstract This doctoral thesis analyses the contribution of commercial aviation to the contemporary history, particularly in the field of external relations, international economy and mass tourism. We have identified all innovations with a structural impact on the industry through specialised press, considering the changes on technology, geopolitics, aeropolitics, business models, product and services, and infrastructure. This methodology has allowed us to write the history of the commercial aviation since its origin in 1919.

  • TOTALITY! Eclipse Travel Adventures
    TOTALITY! eclipse travel adventures The Diamond Ring at C2, showing the Diamond Ring Effect in Svalbard, but unlike the usual images where most observers were, this image was taken by Deidre Sorensen in a rather isolated location away from most other eclipse chasers where the still of the location could best be appreciated. © Deidre Sorensen and used by permission / [email protected] / http://www.deidresorensen.com/#!/index Results: Eclipse in the North Atlantic Booking; 2016 Total Solar Eclipse ECLIPSE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC Earth – Air – Sea What are the odds of seeing a total solar eclipse in (or near) the Arctic? The answer is very low since the Arctic is quite often overcast. But nothing stops a serious eclipse chaser, even if the chances of seeing the eclipse are slim. Today’s eclipse chasers manage to travel nearly anywhere in the world to some of the most remote locations, viewing eclipses from land (or ice), on the ocean, on mountain tops, or high in the air aboard a jet aircraft. So for the 2015 total eclipse with the weather conditions expected to be marginal from land, eclipse viewing took to all types of viewing locations; on the land, on the sea and in the skies. I am certain that everyone that traveled to the eclipse has a great story (mine will be shared shortly), whether it was clear, or cloudy. For this eclipse only two land areas lay under the path of totality, with the centerline passing over just one. If you were selecting eclipses that had a high probability of clear skies, you would not have picked the one of 20 March 2015.
